Hello,PR 39254, regarding the inability to read a single key from from a hash DB with db(1), appears to've been resolved at some point; this does not replicate on -current, either with or without the NULL byte:
-- $ db -w -C -N hash test.db key1 val1 Added key `key1' $ db -N hash test.db key1 key1 val1 $ db -w hash test.db key3 val3 Added key `key3' $ db hash test.db key3 key3 val3 --
It appears that this PR can be closed. Thanks. J
